3 Words 04:12
You look good tonight Nobody else in this place can match you You've been on my mind You look good tonight It's hard for me to voice my thoughts But I'm ready to say what I want But you look like there's something weighing heavy on your mind So I'll just keep it in so you can take your time 3 words You first 3 words Because 3 words could change everything You look good tonight Reminds me how you first got my attention Put together so right Mmm, you look good tonight I'm nervous but I need to say That some things have changed for me But you look so excited that I kinda wanna wait The look that's in your eyes makes me hate to say 3 words You first 3 words Because 3 words could change everything

Going Dark 03:41
This small dark room is your escape No light, no reflection You can't see your face Slide down the wall and rest on the floor Your head is out to sea And in your hand you clutch the shore The pressure rises like a tide inside, you can taste it It stretches out your skin so tight and wide, you can't take it A nick or two tonight to satisfy, then you'll make it Out Alive You cutter And it all bleeds out You cutter Then it all drains Out Just like before you set your mind that this time will be the last Pull yourself from the floor to hide and disguise your latest crash There is no pain any more and you’re fine, it’s all fine now that it’s passed This is how You survive You cutter And it all bleeds out You cutter Then it all drains Out

Sitting in my brother’s car Coughing on the clouds he blows from his mouth Watching family drink and laugh through the windows Of our mother’s house His first Christmas with us in years He was spreading gifts like a modern Nino Brown But I could see that the life that took him away Was still a part of him even now And I said “Why don't you change your life? Mom raised us all to do what’s right." He said “It’s not enough for a boy around here" He said “One thing to understand, my nigga The streets taught me how to be a man, my nigga. I don’t need nobody judging me I hold it down, and I’m gonna be Alright" He sounded so excited and full of hope as we spoke Of his unborn child He said “I’m gonna be the daddy to her that I never had in mine" I said what happens to her if you wind up in jail again Or God forbid, worse? He said whatever happened, he’d make sure he made plans to take care of her I said “That’s fucked up! It’s not right! You won’t wanna miss a moment of her life I don’t understand why it has to be like this! He said “One thing to understand, my nigga The streets taught me how to be a man, my nigga. I don’t need nobody judging me I hold it down, and I’m gonna be Alright" It's gonna be alright

Relentless 03:55
You wake me from my sleep Clamoring in my ear again My heart racing, eyes adjust to the dark All I want is a little peace Just a bit of time to myself I wish I knew how to turn you off Sometimes you're relentless So damn relentless I knew you would be trouble from the start I just didn't think that you'd take it this far And I notice that you only call When you're broken Feels like my free time is being robbed Blowing up my phone and I wish you'd stop And it wouldn't even be so hard But you're always broken You drag me out at night Interrupt all of my plans I'm afraid to do anything at all As soon as I'm hanging at home Or spending time with my friends I know my phone will light up with your call Cuz you're relentless So damn relentless I knew you would be trouble from the start I just didn't think that you'd take it this far And I notice that you only call When you're broken Feels like my free time is being robbed Blowing up my phone and I wish you'd stop And it wouldn't even be so hard But you're always broken

Saw a story on the news Broke the precious calm A child's death, kindling to a problem waiting for a spark No chance to recover No chance to breathe Before the dead grow like poisonous leaves Oh God I'm scared How do we remain here? When people exist That only want to watch this world burn Another day Another trend Another rally Another vigil How may candles can we burn to cleanse ourselves? We pray for somewhere We pray for something Another trending grief But there always seems to be darkness overhead I can't see How to change anything Sometimes I think That we should let the world just...

Thanks to Jill for letting me spend countless hours in "the studio" working on this stuff instead of doing other, grown-up things. Thanks to Avery for walking around the house singing the chorus to "3 Words"; made me feel extra good about that one.
Thanks to the Mix community on Facebook for giving me feedback, and my Twitter indie music fam for the support and retweets. This EP was a DIY labor of love. Let's do it again sometime.

about

And Then There Was One Boston, Massachusetts

And Then There Was One is Stevie Caldwell’s solo project, an outlet for a very personal, atmospheric and powerful sound which finds its niche somewhere between genres: it’s rock at its core, flowing from mid-tempo melodic grooves into crunchy angst-ridden alt rock, which she describes as much like her personality. ... more
